<br>WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?<br>Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not<br>started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?<br>Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?<br>And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.<br>I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.<br>I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start<br>caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.<br>I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for<br>hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.<br>I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.<br>I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.<br>I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First<br>Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.<br>In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.<br>When I see a fuzzy photo of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been<br>humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.<br>When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.<br>When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.<br>And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran."

Now there you're being a little but too simplistic and starting history from the wrong date. Bin Laden has made it quite clear that the attack was carried out in response to the United States' complicity in the hideous crimes committed against Muslims, for example in Palestine and Lebanon. So you have to go back to at least 1982 when he developed an overwhelming feeling that injustice had to be rejected and decided to punish the unjust one after the US authorised certain towers to be destroyed in Lebanon causing much loss of life including women and children among the victims.<br><br>km<br><br>

Well then, go put that anger, frustration, vile, vitriol and determination of yours in use, why dont'cha. I'm sure the U.S. Army, or the Marine Corps for that matter, could use an able-bodied person of sound mind such as yourself so why no get yourself enlisted, Mongol? What's that? No?! Figured...<br><br>

You shouldn't smoke so much of that stuff! I did over 13 years in the American special operations units, thank you. If more Presidents, like Reagan, would leave the little press pundits on the periphery (like we did in Grenada '83 - how much do you hear from the liberal news mafia on that little excursion? I'll tell ya "0"). Why don't you move from the safe confines of Scandinavia to Saudi Arabia, and see how far you'll get with your liberal ideas.<br><br>I've joined the RON PAUL REVOLUTION - www.ronpaul2008.com

Well let me elaborate... by convicted I mean legally convicted , not water-boarded or railroaded , or a mock trial... I mean by the letter of the law.<br><br>Course if we had a leader with any integrity - we wouldn't have to nit-pick all this.<br><br>good point though.<br><br>David (OFI)

It can't be right to ignore the wrongdoer but prosecute the innocent - it's not Alice in Wonderland.<br><br>km<br><br><br><br><br>

Yes I agree... same with Reagan in the 1980s and Central America regimes... <br><br>if they were resisting Communists- they were freedom fighters, <br>....if they were resisting right wing dictators we proped up, they were terrorists! <br><br>David (OFI)
